Just received this e-mail from Charlie's Defense Committee. This is dire. I know that y'all have the elections on your mind, but if someone can be arrested and arraigned for openly criticizing a vote count, than elections are just a futile gesture.
"Dear friends of Charlie,
Things are heating up here for Charlie, and for those in the Defense Committee. It turns out he is going to be defending this criminal case PRO SE on a aggressive very fast track schedule.. We will need help with two things: We need to raise $$$ for DEPOSITIONS (they have to be set NOW due to "speedy trial" timetable) of Clovis Watson, APD Chief Robert Jernigan, Mayor Jean Calderwood, and two others, as well as other legal expenses. And we need help with PUBLICITY from bloggers and folks who know how to get the story into the media. Anything you can do will be greatly appreciated. I welcome your advice and suggestions, and please use this information however you can (editing or re-writing is fine).
Thanks,
Michael Canney
